Handmade Monday – meet Lucille & Flora!

13/06/2011 § 12 Comments

Lucille’s a handful of feathers, with a sharp little beak, beady eyes and lots of fluster and bustle. In other words she’s a chicken!

Here she is, inquisitive and engaging – hoping for scraps maybe, or watchful of her friends in the flock to make sure that they’re not doing anything naughty! I think she’s a bossy bird, very sure of herself and her position at the top of the pecking order!

Flora is rather different. As you may know of my own Flora, my rescued duckling who’s almost full grown, ducks have personality in pond-loads! Flora makes her feelings absolutely clear – when she doesn’t want to return to her run and playpen, after the freedom of the garden pond or when the next serving of duck food and scraps is a little later than normal!

So here are my Handmade Monday cushions. I love this project – starts the week with a lovely creative meeting and buzz. Thank you Wendy http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/ for a great idea!

So folks – say Hello to Lucille and Flora!

and here’s the real Flora, enjoying the pond …

Oops – headless duck!

That’s better Flora – who’s a pretty girl then? Read how we found her ‘Flora Puddleduck‘.

Hope you’ve enjoyed Handmade Monday (2) from me!
